GOP Launches Attack Against Obama's Small Donors

Utter horseshit:

WASHINGTON—The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.

Ooooh .... scary stuff. Exceeding limits. Foreigners! Except, of course, there is absolutely no evidence offered up. Proof? No proof needed if you're a Republican.

You know what this is about, besides kicking up a lot of dust and trying to change the topic? Dissing small donors ... like us. The backbone of Obama's fundraising efforts.

Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama's donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.

The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.

Yes, it's so much more open and wonderful to be totally funded by the rich and corporate masters. Those shady small donors, hiding behind their paltry under-$200 contributions--they truly are a danger to America.
